Abstract
Important bacterial diseases in North Carolina include bacterial spot of stone fruits (Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni), angular leaf spot of strawberry (X. fragariae), black rot of crucifers (X. campestris pv. campestris), and bacterial speck of tomatoes (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato). Our objective was to characterize strains representative of these pathogens and to compare and contrast the genetic diversity and structure of the bacterial populations and to appraise implications for disease management strategies.
